I see the Sprayberry tube TV kit on eBay went for $280. I was tempted but I wouldn't have bid that much even though it's probably worth it.

I bid $50 early on but I knew i wouldn't get it.

What would you do with it, build it or leave it alone?
I think I'd want to build it.

I'd probably build it. But it wouldn't be an easy decision.

If only there were two for sale, you could build one and keep one original kit. With just one, I think I would wince a bit but still build it.

Build it, but document every step, and save all the packaging. Use cloth covered wire if you can for the authentic look. IMO that's the best of both worlds.

I wonder if the included caps are any good? :D
